Great Cursus Barrows, Stonehenge
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jan 2009
Great Cursus Barrows, Stonehenge submitted by AngieLake on 2nd Jan 2009. I think some people will be shocked by the view of Stonehenge from the Cursus Barrows. The stones are almost hidden behind the buildings and vehicles in the car park.
The site of the mesolithic posts would be at the right here, with the western one behind the toilet block.

Gournay-Sur-Aronde
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: France (Picardie:Oise (60))
Visited: Yes on 13th Dec 2008
Gournay-Sur-Aronde submitted by AngieLake on 13th Dec 2008. The placement of human and animal remains in the enclosing ditch at Gournay-sur-Aronde. Deposits of weapons were also carefully placed in the ditch.
[Drawing after Jean-Lewis Brunaux].
This comes from Mysteries of the Ancient World, edited by Judith Flanders, (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1998).
Can't help wondering if the ox-burial outside Bryn Celli Ddu is a similar 'Druid' ritual monument.
Maybe King Arthur's Hall was too?

Jackie, in red, stands almost due south, between the two small stones which were found by their involvement in the possible ritual movement dowsed from the Pipers last September.

Mardon Down N
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 21st Nov 2008
Mardon Down N submitted by AngieLake on 21st Nov 2008. Mardon Down Cairn Circle (N) on the lower northern slopes of the ridge, overlooking the rest of Devon. As a guide, Cheriton Bishop, on the A30, would be in the distance here.
To access this site, keep going north on a narrower track when by Giant's Grave, instead of following the main ridgeway path. As seen here, the track then heads away diagonally to the right, and rejoins the main ridgeway track, going downhill towards the menhir 'Headless Cross'.

The Giant's Grave Mardon Down
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 21st Nov 2008
The Giant's Grave Mardon Down submitted by AngieLake on 21st Nov 2008. Believe it or not, this bumpy mass of vegetation, left, is the Giant's Grave. You can see how the [rather wet!] ridgeway track skirts around it on the highest part of Mardon Down.
Looking approx south here, with the other smaller cairn just behind it to the south.

Mardon Down Cairn 3
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 21st Nov 2008
Mardon Down Cairn 3 submitted by AngieLake on 21st Nov 2008. Flat topped Cairn 3 on Mardon Down, with a small stone still present in its outer ring, helping to maintain the shape. The "shallow trench into the centre" runs diagonally here from the right of the stone, into the centre.
My friend [top left] is standing further north by the ridgeway track, and to her right is the disappointing Giant's Grave.

Both were thought to be pre-Christian standing stones. The large cross is made from granite, possibly from the Llyn Peninsula.
Llanbadarn Fawr church was once the mother church of what was then the largest parish in Wales.
